Metallic Coupling System
View pageUS Patent:
48291463, May 9, 1989
Filed:
Apr 11, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/179957
Inventors:
Wolfgang Duve - Hackettstown NJ
Assignee:
Amerace Corporation - Parsippany NJ
International Classification:
H01R 458
US Classification:
174 94R
Abstract:
A conductive metal coupling sleeve harder and springier than the conductor and connector to be joined is interposed between them. The sleeve having patterned inside and outside surfaces is placed over the conductor end and the conductor-sleeve combination is inserted into the bore of the desired connector and subjected to compressing forces to crimp the components together. The patterns of the sleeve interlock with the conductor and the walls that define the connector bore. The springiness of the sleeve insures good electrical conductivity between the components in the event there is some springback of the components upon the termination of assembly compression or creep during use.
Multi-Edge Spring Insert For Twist-On Connectors

45310165, Jul 23, 1985
Filed:
Mar 5, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/586266
Inventors:
Wolfgang Duve - Hackettstown NJ
Assignee:
Amerace Corporation - Hackettstown NJ
International Classification:
H01R 412
US Classification:
174 87
Abstract:
Prior to coiling, the wire to be used as the spring insert of twist-on connectors is mechanically worked to form at least two relatively sharp edges. When coiling is accomplished such edges are positioned to extend inwardly into the core of such coils to mechanically engage and retain conductors placed within said core. Similar sharp edges can be formed on spring inserts having a wide range of initial cross-section profiles.
